WASHINGTON — A congressional committee on Thursday asked the Justice Department to consider criminally prosecuting the head of a technology services company that was involved in maintaining a private email server for Hillary Clinton.
The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee accused Colorado-based Platte River Networks and its chief executive, Treve Suazo, of withholding documents demanded under subpoena and of obstructing the committee’s investigation “at every turn.”
The allegations were made in a referral to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Kenneth Eichner, a lawyer for the company, said he was confident the Justice Department had “moved on.”
A referral for prosecution from Congress has no practical impact on the Justice Department. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment Thursday.
